Good lord, I can't believe Lemmy World's federation queue is backed up for so many other instances because of stupid shit like this.

OP, the wording of the post is very confusing. Would you mind perhaps editing the post to clarify your opinion?

Thanks!

I think the distributed nature of the Fediverse is a big part of it. Lot of moderation policies at play, on a lot of different instances and some allow some real jerks to flourish and spill out elsewhere. I have zero tolerance for any of that garbage and am very quick with my block/ban buttons, but those are only effective on my own instance or the few communities I moderate outside that.

OP, best I can suggest is to report them. Most of the communities I interact with are pretty responsive to those kinds of reports and similarly don't tolerate it. Mods, unfortunately, can't read every comment and often rely on reports to know when to look deeper/take action.

And don't feel bad about blocking the jerks. There's a lot of them, lol.

As a GIF, that scene looks like it's cut from a horror movie lol.

Lol, yeah. I was referencing the plot (Elaine accidentally grabs her breast in the sauna and tells Jerry she think's they're fake).

Also, I tried to merge that exact GIF into the static image but failed miserably 😆.

I've seen this site get spammed in the past, but it's been a few months. Guess they're at it again.

That whole site is an unholy mixture of religion, conspiracy, and Elon Musk. It's bonkers.

Basically if you see tiblur [dot] com, you can pretty much just report it as spam.

Is it weird that I read your reply in Frasier's voice?

There's an amazing bakery near me that's like that. People have just kind of adapted, and it seems to work well for the business. They start at like 4 in the morning to bake everything they're going to sell for the day, open at 7, and are pretty much always sold out by 10:30 or 11.

If I recall, I think they do a lot of catering, so the part of the shop that's open to the public is kind of an afterthought. I'm never able to get there when they have the good stuff, but it's an amazing treat when someone from the office stops by early in the morning and brings a box of something.

Rule 3 seems to be very unenforced lately 😠
